I haven't followed this whole thread, but I'd just like to point out
that a simple return statement:

    return <some-expression>;

is equivalent to an extended return statement:

    return Result : constant T := <some-expression> do
        null;
    end return;

where T is the result subtype of the function (presuming
Result doesn't conflict with something else around the
place).

Build-in-place is determined by the type, not by the
syntactic form of the return statement.
